PH 'Wessex White Horses'
Notes from a Preceptor’s Handbook A Preceptor: (OED) 1440 A.D. from Latin praeceptor one who instructs, a teacher, a tutor, a mentor “A horse, a horse and they are all white” Provincial Grand Lodge of Wiltshire Provincial W Bro Michael Lee PAGDC 2017 The White Horses of Wessex Editors note: Whilst not a Masonic topic, I fell Michael Lee’s original work on the mysterious and mystical White Horses of Wiltshire (and the surrounding area) warranted publication, and rightly deserved its place in the Preceptors Handbook. I trust, after reading this short piece, you will wholeheartedly agree. Origins It seems a perfectly fair question to ask just why the Wiltshire Provincial Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter decided to select a white horse rather than say the bustard or cathedral spire or even Stonehenge as the most suitable symbol for the Wiltshire Provincial banner. Most continents, most societies can provide examples of the strange, the mysterious, that have teased and perplexed countless generations. One might include, for example, stone circles, ancient dolmens and burial chambers, ley lines, flying saucers and - today - crop circles. There is however one small area of the world that has been (and continues to be) a natural focal point for all of these examples on an almost extravagant scale. This is the region in the south west of the British Isles known as Wessex. To our list of curiosities we can add yet one more category dating from Neolithic times: those large and mysterious figures dominating our hillsides, carved in the chalk and often stretching in length or height to several hundred feet. -
Swindon Bus Station
What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good. -
Great Cheverell Conservation Area Statement Is Part of the Process
86 High Street GREAT CHEVERELL CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT October 2003 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Statement is to identify and record those special qualities of Great Cheverell that make up its architectural and historic character. This is important in providing a sound basis for the Local Plan policies and development decisions, as well as for the formulation of proposals for the preservation and enhancement of the character or appearance of the area. The Conservation Area was designated in 1989. This Statement includes a review of the Great Cheverell Conservation Area and is intended for all those with an interest in the village, or undertaking work on the buildings, landscape, roads or public spaces. It is also essential reading for anyone contemplating development within the area. By drawing attention to the distinctive features of Great Cheverell it is intended that its character will be protected and enhanced for the benefit of this and future generations. Rear of Manor House and St Peters parish church LOCATION Great Cheverell is 4.5 miles south of Devizes close to the centre of Wiltshire. It is situated on a secondary road joining the A360 (Devizes - Salisbury road) to the B3098 (Westbury - West Lavington route) east of Erlestoke. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The village lies on a northeast facing hillside with the parish church high on the northern edge. The junction of High Street with Church Road forms the centre of the village. Here a cluster of brick and slate historic buildings includes the village inn, a mansion, orchard and a barn. Large mature trees on a sloping green are significant in the approach to the church, to the grounds of the former rectory and to the manor house beyond. -

As a result, the landscape context includes residential development, agricultural land, woodlands and main vehicular routes. To the south of the site boundary is an area of undeveloped land, beyond which are located allotments with an area of minimum change located to the west of the site (Kennet Local Plan Policy HH10). The Kennet and Avon Canal passes to the south of the allotments which Photo m: residential development abut the southern edge of the site. Topography The topography of the site is relatively flat with a slight drop in levels towards Quakers Walk. Devizes generally has a topography which slopes from west to east across the town, rising up towards Devizes Castle and onto Etchilhampton Hill at 190m. To the north of the site, the topography rises up to 224m at Roundway Hill. Photo n: allotment Photo o: Kennet and Avon Canal Land off -

It was decided to seek a person to continue the Responsible Finance Person role either in a professional or voluntary role. The possibility of a requirement for a full time Parish Clerk was discounted. 5. Speed Indicator Update The application form was sent to the CATG in March after the last meeting. However presumably, due to the Covid19 lockdown no further progress has been possible on this topic. 6. Damaged Road Sign The damaged road sign has not been re-established and little hope was held for further developments until the Covid crisis has abated due to additional pressures on Wiltshire Council departments. 7. Planning Application 20/02559/OUT Due to the significant majority support (8 for versus 2 against) sent to the Planning Department by the village residents and no objections from the Parish Council members, the Chair had written a letter of support for the application. -

We Strongly Support the Objections Expressed by Devizes Town
Chairman: John Kirkman, Witcha Cottage, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 2HQ Wiltshire Branch Phone: 01672 520429; e-mail: [email protected] Kennet District Group E/2011/1139/OUT Care Village on greenfield land alongside Quakers Walk We strongly support the objections expressed by Devizes Town Council and Roundway Parish Council to the development of a care village on the remaining field to the east of of Quakers Walk, south of the new housing development and north of the allotments. Sustainability The proposed built development would bring to the north-east corner of Devizes an unsustainable extra burden of resident population. Though the residents in the 80-bed care home would probably not be mobile, the 129+ residents in the apartments and cottages would generate movements themselves, and visitors to the whole new community would generate increased traffic. That would predictably worsen the congestion on London Road and the main through-routes, and increase the already illegal pollution levels around the town.. The development would cover for ever an area of agricultural land which, together with the adjoining much-valued Quakers Walk, should preferably be protected as a Special Green Space for Devizes, in accordance with the forthcoming NPPF guidelines, para.130. Relevant Plans and the Status of the Land In the first sentence of Part 1 and elsewhere (eg Pt 2 para.. 2.2) The Design and Access Statement describes the application site as a “development site”. Use of that expression is misleading. Following the Inspector’s decisions on the draft Kennet Local Plan (see his Report para. 2.236 and 2.244c) the application site is “unallocated land”. -

Settlement Strategy
Wiltshire Local Development Framework Working towards a Core Strategy for Wiltshire Topic paper 3: Settlement strategy Appendices Wiltshire Core Strategy Consultation January 2012 Wiltshire Council Information about Wiltshire Council services can be made available on request in other languages including BSL and formats such as large print and audio. Please contact the council on 0300 456 0100, by textphone on 01225 712500 or by email on [email protected]. Appendix A – Role and Function Study of Local Service Centres Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12, 2008) recognises that a settlement strategy is key to ensuring sustainable patterns of development are delivered in appropriate locations at an appropriate scale. The Settlement Strategy Topic Paper provides the detailed background explaining how the settlement strategy for Wiltshire has been identified. Categorising the role and function of settlements is an important first step that will help to understand appropriate levels of growth that should be planned for within settlements. The 2011 Settlement Strategy seeks to provide a framework within which the ambitions of Wiltshire‟s rural communities can be realised. As part of this framework a number of settlements, which are considered to have a pronounced role in the rural area and in most cases act as local services centres serving the wider rural hinterland are identified. There were 5 settlements that have been identified as potentially having a service centre role. These settlements are; Cricklade, Lyneham, Market Lavington, Pewsey & Purton. In very general terms a Local Service Centre will have some or all of the following characteristics. Large population (over 2,000) Significant employment base; A very good range of services; A secondary school; Excellent transport connections; Potential to support development in the rural area; The largest settlement within the community.
